Marine Major Joshua Mast and his wife Stephanie have been involved in a legal battle after an Afghan couple challenged the adoption of an orphan.
A military administrative board of inquiry hearing overseen by three officers from Marine Corps Special Operations Command at Camp Lejeune from Oct 2-8 substantiated allegations against a Marine JAG officer of 'misuse of a government computer' and 'conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman.
The substantiated misconduct relating to misuse of a government computer did include systems involving classified and unclassified information,' according to Major Johnny Henderson, a spokesman for MARSOC. The board did not consider the legality of the adoption lawsuit, which has now been appealed by the Masts and is currently stalled in the Virginia Supreme Court.
By law, the military board’s finding that separation was not warranted is binding on the Marine Corps. The decision must now be reviewed by the Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro. When asked whether Maj Mast would be able to continue practicing law as a Judge Advocate General officer, Maj Henderson responded: 'Maj Mast has not been practicing law or in a legal billet at MARSOC since the initial report of misconduct nor will he be returning to practicing law at MARSOC.
